Dave says,
This Thursday I’m really psyched to bring you something new and scrofulous: The Tenor Titan, Mr. Scotty Shetler. We played here in the “old” days and he just slipped through my cracks. Ah, all these years…. You gotta hear this guy play! He just oozes Omphalos! Sings, too. A great front man!
Not only that, but Mr. Pete Henderson,lonely in these parts, is making a rare appearance on catarrh and vocals. Another awesome boost to our flame-throwing lineup.Top it all off with the Atomic Clock, Mr. David Mattacks with me cringing in the background and you’ll be crying “Uncle!”. This could be one of the best shows all summer!

Dogs being dogs…
See, this is what happens when dog owners leave the house. Dogs just humping everything in sight. Even the poor Minion gets violated. Goddamned dog owners, so naive and shit. Awww isn’t he cute, he just wants to play. Awwwww look at the widdle puppy playing with the Minion. See how nice they play together?
Next thing you know the Minon’s walkin’ around funny with an ice pack strapped to it’s butt.
Hammer time. By Jesus that dog was relentless. Cut to next scene- stuffing flying everywhere.
and y’all wonder why I have a healthy fear of canines.
Oh and another thing, listen to the dog owners laughing. That’s how it always is. Dogs be humping your leg or jumping all over you with muddy paws or licking you and their owners are laughing the whole time.

The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to present Fitz Henry Lane’s Gloucester, a guided walking tour, on Saturday, September 5 at 10:00 a.m. Explore downtown Gloucester and discover what it was like in the 19th century when Fitz Henry Lane roamed the streets and painted the views. Tours last about one and a half hours and are held rain or shine. Participants should be comfortable being on their feet for that amount of time. Cost is $10 for Cape Ann Museum members; $20 for nonmembers (includes Museum admission). Space is limited and reservations are required. Email info@capeannmuseum.org or call (978) 283-0455, x10 for more information or to reserve a space. This tour will be offered again on September 26.
Fitz Henry Lane was a Cape Ann artist, printmaker and world-renowned American marine painter.

The Cape Ann Museum’s unparalleled collection of works by Fitz Henry Lane – which includes paintings, drawings and lithographs – is on permanent display in the gorgeously renovated Lane Gallery, a space fully devoted to Lane’s life and work.

John Hickey Brown was born in Hartford, CT in 1955 and currently resides in Melrose, MA. He
attended the University of Hartford and received a BA in English Literature from Charter Oak
College in 1981. He worked in the graphic arts field for over twenty‐five years.
While having no formal art training, he has received instruction from Boston artist, Jason Polins,

He is an associate member of the Rockport Art Association and the North Shore Arts
Association in Gloucester. He enjoys participating in local events, such as Paint Essex and the art
auction at the Sawyer Free Library.
He paints landscapes in oil, primarily en plein air. He draws inspiration from the landscape of
New England and from the great tradition of American impressionist painters, especially those
who were drawn to Cape Ann.
“We are so happy to be able to welcome another local artist to our Gloucester branch. This
program has proven to be a very popular one in the Gloucester community – with local citizens
and visitors, alike,” noted Bank President, Russ Cole.
About the program:
One artist’s work is scheduled to be shown every three months; Mr. Brown’s work will be
displayed through October 2015. A reception is planned at the branch on Friday, September 18
from 1:00‐4:00PM to offer you the opportunity to meet John and learn more about his work.
